I was hoping some photography buff would add this definition. You did a much better job then I would have! It always fascinated me that the iris in the camera affected both the amount of light and therefore the required exposure time AND the depth of field.

I had to look at a lot of diagrams to understand that concept and it has been a long time, so I do not understand it anymore. I just know it is true.
